Gurudev as to the best way to make use of the money.
Shree Chitrabhanuji did not delay. He heard that conditions in Bihar were deteriorating. The famished were feeding on roots, some of which were poisonous unless they were first soaked and boiled repeatedly for several days. He offered a team of twenty of his students to be sent to Bihar with dried beans and grains to open and run five huge kitchens. J. P., as Jayaprakash was best known, took charge of the money and supervised the project. Each kitchen fed three hundred people. Thus fifteen hundred people could be accommodated in one single day. Volunteer workers from Ahmedabad, from Sadvichar Samiti or Right Thought Committee also came to help. Other international organizations such as Care sent vitamins, high protein preparations, and medicines to the stricken people.
J. P. and his wife Praphavatidevi came to The Divine Knowledge Society again on January 27, on March 17, and on April 23, 1967 to help raise more funds for food, high protein tonics, vitamins and medicines and to make more decisions. The Chairman of The Divine Knowledge Society, Kantilal
